Only a few days since HKTDC Hong Kong Electronics Fair (3-16 October 2019) has passed. PCBWay was taking part as exhibitor of many exciting PCB technologies. If you had a chance to visit booth 5F-G12 you could have a pleasant and productive chat with PCBWay team, receive a gift and go through excellent product display. Electronics fair is an excellent opportunity to highlight the capabilities of new technologies. There were five exhibition areas containing start-ups, 3D printing technologies, robotics, control, artificial intelligence and virtual reality. The geographic locations of participants covered China, Denmark, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan and US. All of them brought leading technologies and products for promotion and presentation.

There are many ways in which construction crews remain safe. The use of hi-viz vests allows construction workers to see each other from a distance to ensure onsite safety. Collapsible cones and grabber cones, and the use of barricades help block off areas so only those who are authorized to be on a job site or field, are actually within that zone. But, today, the use of technological advancements, are also making their way onto construction sites. And, these technologies are significantly improving the way communication occurs, and ways in which construction crews stay safe on site. How exactly is the technology used for safety? There are many ways. These are three prominent areas in which technology has helped enhance onsite safety. Continue reading

As an employer, it’s your job to keep your employees safe during business hours. When part of their job description requires them to utilize company cars, however, protecting them can be a bit more complex. As accidents occur every second of the day, ensuring that your staff safely gets to and from their destinations unharmed requires in-depth planning and attention to detail. While you cannot control every element on the road that can cause an accident, you can reduce the likelihood of one of your staff getting hurt. That’s why it is important to set up safety measures such as these listed below:  Continue reading

During digging and drilling processes, pipe often gets blocked that requires severing for operations to continue. With the help of recovery tools, the well logging equipment can bring the stuck part back to the top of the well. Here are some of the most commonly used pipe recovery tools Continue reading

Plastic injection molding is an extremely versatile method of producing plastic parts and has multiple advantages over other methods of rapid prototyping. The process is more straightforward and more reliable than in many different ways. The benefits of this process are as follows: 1.   High Efficiency- Fast Production The process is quite fast compared to other methods, and the high output rate makes it even more efficient and cost-effective. With the short run cycles, a higher number of moulds can be produced in a limited amount of time, thus increasing revenue and profit margins. Typically, hot-runner ejection mould systems provide parts with more consistent quality and do so with faster cycle times. Also, the plastic injection moulding process takes little time, and this allows more parts to be manufactured from a single mould. 2.   Complex Part Design Injection moulding can handle remarkably complex parts, and uniformity, as well as the ability to make millions of virtually identical pieces. Key design elements should be taken into account when maximising the precision and quality of your parts. With the right design, parts can be made quickly and… Continue reading

Palletizing has come a long way and many industries are today moving in with the trends by adopting new methods versus the traditional ones. Palletizers are great for handling different kinds of products in an industry. Palletizing applications include tasks such as handling bags, cartons, pails and other materials, product packaging, loading and transporting goods in a pallet.  Changing from a conventional method to an automated one is not always easy. This is because both have features that you would want for your application and you are the only one in a position to know what is best for your business.  To make your decision on which one of the two suits your needs better, let us look at the benefits of both conventional palletizing and palletizingrobot.
